master resophonic guitarist, engineer, and producer. To date, he
has played on over 500 CDs, ranging from legends such as Hank Thompson
and Jerry Reed to current chart-topping artists including Dierks
Bentley and The Wreckers - not to mention the countless bluegrass
recordings he's played on for such well-known acts as Larry Sparks,
Rhonda Vincent, Mark Newton, Bradley Walker, Jim Lauderdale, Lou
Reid, and 3 Fox Drive, to barely scratch the surface.
Randy recently produced, engineered, mixed and
performed and sang harmony on Jim Lauderdale’s ‘The Bluegrass Diaries’ -
2008 Grammy Award winner for ‘Best Bluegrass Album’
Randy says:
“I normally use very little eq in final
mix unless there is a problem. I never boost top end, only getting
rid of ugly frequencies. If there is a problem, I usually rerecord
the part correctly instead of messing around trying to get what I
want with plug-ins that might get me 60% there. That is why the tools
I choose are so indispensable. Acoustic music is so easy to sour
with the overuse of modern tools and techniques. I rely on good players,
good instruments and Mojave Audio front end gear to do the job properly.
The rest is up to me to mix well enough to please the pickiest musician.
